links2
is my fav minimalist browser. Supports pictures and basic
formatting, very clean. Also, a hint, often prefixing a
website name with "m." will give you a mobile
version which loads faster to bookmark for later
Have benefitted from PowerPC
Debian (also netBSD) : emacs (for both terminal interface
and programming, learning programming, system admin skills
(text interfaces), some number / text crunching and
algorithm testing. Preferring lxde desktop but also just
plain X with a simple window manager, sometimes using the
cool multi-console feature of Linux (cntrl-fn-#). Also
distributed compiling - very helpful with slower machines.
Building optimized and customized versions of software,
especially kernels! And testing / debugging - involvement
with development community is fun and enriching. Highly
recommend involvement also in local Linux groups + some
upstream project
